Yes, I think so. The problem is you have to run ld-linux.so.2 from /usr/lib/slimboat/ and not a sub-directory under that (that's what's weird/unique about slimboat compared to other apps I've done this tweak with).

In my tests I couldn't even use a sym-link: it has to be the actual file. All the other libs can go where you've put them, but ld-linux.so.2 is the special case and has to go in /usr/lib/slimboat/

I've uploaded slimboat-1.1.44-lina.sfs to the repo, it contains all the needed glibc files, appears to work ok.
This should be the safest way to use Slimboat without polluting the library files, please test.

Also re-uploaded Hotshots-2.0.0 as the menu entry was in the wrong place, it was in /usr/share/application that should of been /usr/share/applications, the easy fix is to just move it for those that have downloaded it previously and delete /usr/share/application directory which needn't be there._________________Carolina:Recent Repository Additions

Slimboat works on my Carolite 1.1 , but it's much slower than Firefox .
Started with Carolina 1.0 , then saw the upgrade to 1.1 and meanwhile I was working to make a custom remaster ( I put everything I need in it and don't use savefile ) Carolite1.1 appeared . So I added just the things I needed to it and now it's my favourite on my old laptop ( 1Gb RAM , AMD Turion ML34 1.8GHz). Light and fast , love the way writes directly ( no blanking ) over DVD RW , and Firefox on Carolite 1.1 it's faster than Seamonkey I use on Fatdog on my newer desktop .
On that desktop Carolite sees ( with mvsas and libsas modules ) my OCZ Revodrive 3 PCI Express ( OCZ gave no free linux drivers ) but only as 2 partitions (actually there is a third controller which makes a RAID from them). I can even see those 2 partitions in Gparted but I'm afraid to touch them 'cause I have Windows 7 there . First linux to show them in Gparted for me... Maybe soon I shall be able to access that drive from Carolite or oher puppy ( things evolved pretty well ) ...

The way ...lite helps make small and highly personalized puppy should be a feature all puppies take advantage from...

In my opinion , it could make Caroline a bit better the possibility to let a single way to delete files , I mean to be able to remove from the right click menu : 'Delete' - which sends the files to Trash . That's because if I want to really remove some file and since I'm used to choose 'delete' in other puppies I do something else choosing 'Delete' in Carolite. A good choice could have been 'Send to Trash' instead of 'Delete' ... Moreover - every partition where I delete ( send to trash ) something , gets a brand new '.Trash ' folder and since often there are other operating systems there , it's a pain in the a..

Thanks for testing Slimboat, yes I find it slow loading Google Image view, but in general web pages load as fast as Firefox or even a tad quicker in some instances, others report no faults at all.

As far as the trash is concerned there isn't a way the rename Delete, to bypass the trash just hold down the Shift key when selecting Delete.

There is also a entry in the right click menu called Permanently Remove... this can be lethal and destroy everything if not used with care, you can rearrange these custom actions by selecting in Thunar file manager Edit > Configure custom actions... and select an entry which can be moved up or down the menu list.

The .Trash-0 directories are of no consequence if they are deleted in another operating system, provided they contain nothing you planned on keeping, they will be recreated if anything is deleted in that partition using Thunar in Carolina._________________Carolina:Recent Repository Additions

Permanently Remove... this can be lethal and destroy everything if not used with care

I once managed to right-click on the background in Thunar, narrowly missing the directory I was planning to delete. I didn't notice the mistake and selected Permanently Remove. Result: it deleted the entire current directory.

Silly user error, but for safety I've now disabled Permanently Remove on my machines. One day I'll get around to writing a script that checks for such accidents, then I can reinstate it.

I've added miXimum to the repo, this is a DJ's mixing desk, it seems to work ok for me, the only thing I've found is that I have to select the audio monitor to get sound, I need to do this every time I start the application.

Whether this will work for everyone I don't know, as it is hardware dependent, it does say it requires two sound cards but if I select Default for the monitor that works for me, please test.

Has anyone tried to get Oolite (http://oolite.org/) working in Carolina? I can run it in other Puppies (albeit slowly as the 3D performance of this laptop isn't great) but in Carolina it fails to even start.

It asks me to report the error, but no error message is actually given. I've tried the latest version 1.77.1 and also an older 1.75 version: same result.

I was unable to get HandBrake working in Precise 5.7.1 and I read that it works in Saluki. I followed that trail and ended up installing Lina 1.1 although the splash screen says Carolina 1.1. HandBrake is working fine though I'm a little confused about the lack of applications in this distro. I thought I read hat Lina was a lightweight version of Carolina though I don't see a separate d/l link for Carolina. Is there a way to unlock Lina 1.1 to turn it in to Carolina 1.1?

Sounds like you downloaded Carolite, the lite version at 140MB. It has a basic set of applications.

Sorry, I tried OOOlight I think it is. It's a cut down version which you can find at Akita Linux Repository by scottman. I know it doesn't work either. This is the first puppy I have found that it doesn't work on. Hope that helps, Rob
